6. Concerning Spiritual Gifts
In this section, I will be giving a lot of scriptures. …
For to one is given by the Spirit discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.
For the best example of discerning of Spirits, we need to look at King Saul. ..
He couldn’t decern but those around him could.
1 Samuel 16:14 King James Version (KJV)
But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
1 Samuel 16:15 King James Version (KJV)
And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
1 Samuel 19:20. King James Version (KJV)
And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
1 Samuel 28:3. King James Version (KJV)
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him i Continue reading
Parable of the talents
We think of the parable of the talents as being a financial (responsible with God’s money) or physical talent, (play piano, sing for the Lord). I have come to a radical conclusion. Continue reading
these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

5. Concerning Spiritual Gifts.,
brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
For to one is given by the Spirit, prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
prophecy:
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
The gifts where we speak; Lord help me are the scariest gifts to work. Perhaps it is a lack of faith on my part. I love to preach the Word of God, share the promises o f God but jump out there to say thus says the Lord; interpret tongues.
I just don’t think the Spirit has annointed me in this area. I am more than confident to proclaim the truth of His written word but the other is a limb that scares me.
Definition of Prophesy and Prophets:
“Prophet
The ordinary Hebrew word for prophet is nabi, derived from a verb signifying “to bubble forth” like a fountain; hence the word means one who announces or pours forth the declarations of God. The English word comes from the Greek p Continue reading

Will you live to be 120 years old?
After the flood God promised man a lifespan of 120 years. Moses dies at 120, eyesight not dimmed, strength not diminished.
I said what’s up God, I’m only 60, I can’t see worth a flip and strength, whose kidding who?
Gods answer: Bill if you would get off the couch, walk the desert for 40 years eating only what I supply……(nuff said).

No Junk
True words: God said it, it was so and it was GOOD.
God doesn’t make any junk. We’ve just junked up what He’s made.

I would not have you ignorant.
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
We are naturally ignorant of other languages, higher math skills, sports or any particular subject, that doesn’t mean that we are stupid. All it means is we are not knowledgeable in that area.
After all, we cannot be expected to know what we haven’t experienced or been taught. The Apostle is encouraging us to learn about and walk in the light of the Spirit. Our natu Continue reading

Learning From Jesus – The Beatitudes
Good word
Matthew 5:4 – Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
There are reasons to mourn in the life we live. We may mourn a death of a loved one. We may mourn if we go through a bad relationship or marriage. We may even mourn when we sin or know someone who is living a life of sin. Let’s look at mourning over our own sins and someone who is intentionally living a life of sin. We mourn over a death of a loved one because they are gone, death has taken them away from us. Sin is death and when we actively, knowingly and willingly take part in it, we are dying.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord – Romans 6:23
Jesus said those that mourn will be comforted. Jesus is the master at comforting…

A boat at berth is not fulfilling it’s purpose. Neither is the Christian who never ventures from church.
Enoch and Elijah. ..why them?
Enoch and Elijah are alive in heaven today (in human bodies). Why did God choose those two?
The answer is not written in the Word but I believe I can surmise an answer.
